    First Idaho Elk Hunt

    Great write up. I enjoy reading these even when an animal isn't taken. Many other ways to count a hunt successful, even if it's just the lessons learned. I have a buddy that strategically sets up a spike camp at the top of a draw that annual horse hunters push up through and push the elk right...

    Idaho Selway

    Yeah it's funny.....I was watching a national geographic documentary on the animal life in the winter of Yellowstone. I don't think the producers realized it, but half the documentary was showing footage of wolves preying on elk and bison. Definitely didnt do much to portray the innocence of...

    A picture to sum up CO OTC Rifle Units

    Yeah, various agencies have said over the years how hunter numbers are dwindling and hunting is dying off. Not sure where they are getting their data from....Nothing seems further from the truth from what I've seen in my local areas. More and more camps and vehicles. In fact, Idaho fish and game...

    How much meat off a boned out bull

    I've shot one cow. Pulled off 180 pounds of meat, and got back about 140-150 pounds after being processed.

    How much meat off a boned out bull

    I have deboned and done the gutless method on four different elk packed out from the mountains. I usually pack out 200 to 225 pound of meat. There is a surprising amount of meat in the neck and the "rib roll" that a lot of hunters don't take off if they are not required to by law. I then...

    Last Day Bull

    Wow! One heck of a reward for two years of hard hunting. It's amazing how fast a hunt can change from the worst to the best ever.

    Last Day Bull

    Yeah, this was my first chance at a bull in 6 days of hard hunting. Don't regret it at all. No. I one bullet passed through and the other I think stopped inside the chest cavity. I do the gutless method so never did look for it. I was hoping to find one under the hide on the offside, but bull...

    Last Day Bull

    Hi All, new poster here, but long time reader. I thought I would start a "Last Day Bull" thread. Post a pic of your bull you got on either the last day of your hunt or the last day of the season. To start, I shot this bull last day of the general hunt in Idaho. Rifle was Tikka T3X in 308 win...

    Got a tikka t3x SL and need some advice.

    Don't worry about the scope weight if that's what you want. An extra 8 ounces isn't going to matter if that's what you want to shoot. Weight is subjective. I have a 10.5 pound Ruger Predator in 6.5CM and that's what I have my kids and wife shoot because it kicks less than my other 8 pound rifle.
